In 1994, at the start of JazzErie, Saxophonist and band leader Charles Ventrello, trombonist and music teacher Dennis Kitchen, and many other other jazz musicians, historians and aficionados, began meeting to share and learn about jazz.

Now, 17 years later, the monthly tradition continues, as the current group of jazz enthusiasts gathers to listen to and discuss jazz styles.
